In Pictures: Prince Charles and Camilla tour Down Under

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla are in Australia for a lightning two-day visit. Prince Charles is visiting at a rather awkward moment: Austalia's new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is a known Republican who has campaigned to end the country's ties to the monarchy. The royal couple were greeted by wet weather when they landed in Canberra yesterday (Nov 11) and have a busy schedule today, starting with a walkabout in Sydney's Martin Place.
